Ruslan Baltiev, Director of the National Teams Department at the Kazakhstan Football Federation, reviewed the outcome of the UEFA U21 qualifying match between Kazakhstan U21 and Andorra U21 (0–1).

"The result of the match disappointed everyone. Losing to an opponent we were expected to beat is a wake-up call that requires thorough analysis.

At the same time, it is important to emphasize that every setback presents an opportunity to draw conclusions and strengthen the team. We will conduct a detailed review of the game, assessing the quality of preparation and the players’ psychological readiness.

Measures will soon be taken to adjust the training process and reinforce specific areas of work. The team has potential, and we are confident they will respond to this challenge with determination in upcoming matches.

We count on a professional response from both players and coaches, as well as the support of our fans — together, we can return to the level expected of our national team."
